Math Attack

An arithmetic drill played as a city defence. Three bombs fall on a city at night, each carrying a math problem in addition, subtraction or multiplication, chosen on the title along with a starting level. Dial the answer at the bottom of the screen and fire: every falling bomb whose problem has that answer bursts, and a new bomb starts at the top. A wrong answer drops all the bombs closer to the city and speeds them up. Twenty right answers raise the size of the numbers, from one digit up to three-digit by two-digit problems, and the game is won after the hardest level. Three bombs reaching the city lose it. The end shows your right and wrong answers and the bombs that got through.

Controls: Use either controller. On the title, push up and down to choose a line, left and right to change the operation or the level, and press the button to start. In play, left and right choose a slot of the dial, up and down change it (hold to repeat), and a button fires the answer.
